We are a few days past the halfway point of 2026 (we made it!) and I am asking an important, difficult question. What is your favorite book you’ve read so far this year? Rules: you may name 1 fiction and 1 nonfiction. That is the limit. Yes, I’m know. I’m terrible. Also: the book does not have to be a 2026 book! Any book you haven’t read before is a new book. Sarah: I’m the … Continue reading What is Your Favorite Book You’ve Read So Far This Year? →
Katabasis by R.F. Kuang is $1.99! This was a big release, as are most of Kuang’s books. Did any of you grab this one? If you’re still waiting on library holds, snap this deal up while you can.

For whatever reason, March is one of the most packed months this year with regard to queer releases, and it’s got some of the best queer romances I’ve read in a while! Treat yourself to the kickoff of spring with one (or five!) of these delightful books!
Welcome back and happy Tuesday! Just a handful of books on our radar this week, but there are busier weeks ahead this month. Which new releases are you excited for this week? Let us know in the comments!
This book is exemplary. It can literally be held up as an actual example of what a romance novel should be. I am in awe. But before I wax lyrical about the many ways in which this book is excellent, let’s set the scene. Simon and Charlie are co-stars on a sci-fi TV series and for the seven years that the show has been running, they’ve been fighting, squabbling, and disagreeing. Simon is considering leaving … Continue reading Star Shipped by Cat Sebastian →
Detective Aunt by Uzma Jalaluddin is $1.99! This is book one in the Detective Aunty Investigates series. Book two in the series is out in May. We’re big fans of Uzma over here!

RECOMMENDED: The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes by Cat Sebastian is $1.99! Carrie gave it a B+:
This book succeeds in that it gives an irresistible couple in sweet, goofy Rob and grumpy Marian. I adored this couple for their ability to think outside the box, their easy and complete acceptance of each other, and their banter.

RECOMMENDED: You Should Be So Lucky by Cat Sebastian is $1.99! Lara reviewed it and gave it a B:
I’m in an unusual position here. Usually, Cat Sebastian novels are endlessly charming and they have caused many a Bad Decisions Book Club over the years. This one didn’t quite hit that same high for me, but I did still enjoy it.

The Love of My Afterlife by Kirsty Greenwood is $1.99! Sarah had the author on the podcast and she picked it as her favorite read of 2024.

Starling House by Alix E. Harrow is $2.99! Sarah and I mentioned this in Hide Your Wallet. I think I wound up grabbing it in audio, but am notoriously bad at whittling down my audiobook library.

It’s Comics, but it’s not Comic Sans! Recently Cat Sebastian revealed on Instagram the cover for her new book, Star Shipped, coming out in March 2026: Vintage comic style! I dig it. It conveys an era without being exactly specific, and it’s a style that’s nostalgically familiar. I’ve noticed this style as a growing trend in romance. Now, usually when I notice a trend, it’s after two similar occurrences. That’s a coincidence, I know. This … Continue reading Comic Style Covers Keep On Coming →
